The LIT podcast hits the big 5-0. For Episode 50, Bobby and Sam sit down with former Brandeis Division III All-American Toby Harris and his head coach—and repeat LIT guest—Jean Bain. Harris is moving on from Brandeis, using his fifth year of eligibility to transfer to Division I Iona—with Bain’s full support. Together, they talk about their player-coach relationship, how that bond carries on beyond wins, and how Bain made good on his promise to help Harris move up if he put in the work. The duo get into how Bain stood by Harris through injury setbacks, NIL challenges, and why, in an era where many coaches focus only on what a player can do for them, Bain stayed true to his word. Harris also shares what drew him to Brandeis, growing up in North Carolina, and navigating the evolving NIL landscape.

2025 Bobby and Sam sit down with Todd Brogna, fresh off the completion of his sophomore year playing basketball at Division I Stonehill. Brogna's rise, from a small-town kid, completely unrecruited out of his public school, to Division I All-Conference selection as just a sophomore, has been remarkable. Even after playing two years at powerhouse prep school Worcester Academy, Brogna didn't have a single Division I offer until the 25th hour from transitional program Stonehill. Now, after two years there, Brogna is testing the waters of the portal. We don't know where he'll land yet, but we know you won't want to miss this episode of resilience and refusal to let a dream die.

At 13, Basketball was life for Chris Cole, and he was good. How good? Cole was one of the best point guards on the planet in his age group. Then Cole's dad - a drill Sargent in the Army, the man responsible for Cole's morals and work ethic, and above all, Cole's best friend - died of cancer, and everything came crashing down. A highly touted point guard with a spot on the roster at one of the top prep school's in the country, Cole struggled for years to pick up the pieces after his dad's death. Filled with a quiet anger inside, Cole quit the game for a year and gained 100 pounds, before finally falling back in love with it. After losing the weight, Cole earned a Division I college scholarship, only to have his career end prematurely due to a life threatening illness. After a long recovery, Cole found himself homeless without a degree. Amazingly, he picked up the pieces, earned a degree, and reconnect with hoops as a trainer and then coach. Now the associate head coach at Bryant University, Cole sat down with the LIT crew to talk about life, loss, picking up the pieces again, and the game of basketball. This is his amazing story.

In the latest episode of the Wilmington Spotlight, host Austin Styffe sits down with Mike Capistran to talk his gym business, the importance of good coaching, and motivation.
